Chapter 369 How about you just scratch it a few more times?
“This old man…this old man…”
The old man looked at the two children with shining eyes but didn't dare to say anything more. He looked so conflicted that he almost wanted his soul to die.
The little girl glanced at the emperor who was bowing his head and said, "Grandpa, Uncle Ugly is actually very good. He is very smart and sincere. He kowtowed to you outside and even broke your tombstone into pieces."
"Uncle Chou is the Demon Emperor, so he's considered your descendant. If he learns your skills and attains enlightenment, wouldn't that be a great honor for you? Wouldn't that mean you have someone to carry on your legacy?"
"As for my brother and me... Grandpa is not afraid to tell you, you don't have the luck or the fate to accept my brother and me as your disciples, because you can't bear it."
"Oh, and your soul won't last long. If you don't accept Uncle Ugly as your disciple, you might never be able to accept a disciple in this lifetime. Hmm... maybe my mother will get angry and set your tablet on fire."
The old man opened his mouth, and although he was reluctant, he still reluctantly agreed: "Well... well, then I will accept you."
"May I have your name?"
The Demon Emperor looked at the old man with a red face and didn't open his mouth for a long time, which made the little girl very anxious: "Uncle Ugly, Grandpa asked you for your name, why don't you tell me, don't you have one? If you really don't have one... If it really doesn't work, Bubu can give you one now."
Demon King: "Huo Shuai."
Xiao Yulan: "Huo Meili."
"Xiao Yulan! I told you that I have changed my name. You are not allowed to call me by my old name anymore."
"When I was little, my father gave me this name out of the blue because he hoped I would be good-looking and avoid being bullied. But now I've become more handsome, so I'll be called Huo Shuai!"
Everyone: ...
puff……
Bu Ruo buried her face in Xiao Yulan's arms and waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't worry about me, I just found out his name and I couldn't help myself."
The little girl covered her mouth with her hands, smiled, and looked at someone: "Brother, the Sect Master must have given you this name because he wanted you to be smart, right? Look at Uncle Ugly, Uncle Ugly's name became reality, but your name... Oh, forget it, let's just think of it as the Sect Master making a wish."
"Pfft...hahaha~" Bu Ruo laughed until she was out of breath. "Well, you guys start, start. We still have to go back, so hold on tight."
The old man sighed as he looked at the red-faced Demon King. "Beautiful! Meditate! I will teach you now."
"Don't worry. Since I've decided to take you in as my disciple, I'll definitely teach you everything I know. That little girl is right. If by any chance you can become the Demon King, I'll be proud even if I die."
Demon Emperor: ...
"Um... Master, why don't you just call me Xiao Huang? It doesn't really matter whether it's my first name or not. Yes, it doesn't matter."
After knowing the identities of Bu Ruo and the others, the old man no longer had that condescending look on his face, and his eyes softened when he looked at a certain emperor.
"Okay, Xiao Huang, this wisp of my soul can only last for three hours. Now I will pass this technique on to you. Three hours is only enough for me to demonstrate it once. Remember as much as you can. The rest depends on your luck."
The old man watched as the others were about to leave and hurriedly continued, "You don't have to leave. Considering your status... this little bit of stuff I have is really not enough to show you. There's no need to be shy."
Since you don't have to walk, then just look at it openly, and don't miss out on something that's given to you for free.
Three hours later, the old man looked at the bewildered Emperor and sighed, "It's fate that we met. If you can understand half of it, it's enough for you to go further. If you want to become a demon god... well, it depends on luck."
After the old man's soul dissipated, the group walked out of the secret passage.
"Little Yellow idiot, how much have you remembered in three hours?"
Everyone watched for three hours and Jin Congcong slept for three hours. After the teaching was over, he woke up again. He didn't watch at all and didn't learn anything.
“Remember… remember…”
The little girl said: "I saw that Uncle Ugly was studying very seriously. He frowned the whole time and didn't dare to look away. I think Uncle Ugly can remember at least 70% of it."
Jin Congcong: "I'll bet 50%, one ounce of silver. If you guess wrong, the silver will be given to the one who guessed right. If no one guesses right, we'll just treat it as a joke, okay?"
"Hey? Don't look at me. I definitely won't raise the stakes. I only have two taels of silver on me."
"Ruo'er Ruo'er~ Guess what? If I win, I can get an extra copy. But first, let me make it clear, you and Bubu can't watch it. Don't cheat."
"Would you like to take a guess, too, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yulan smiled and shook his head: "Just guess and I won't get involved, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have the money to pay."
Bu Ruo stretched out a finger as she walked: "This princess guesses that he only remembers 10% at most, and maybe even less than 10%."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Impossible, Ruo'er, you must have guessed wrong this time. I think that idiot Little Huang is much smarter than me. Even though I slept from the beginning, it's impossible for him to only remember 10% of it in three hours."
"10%... less than 10%. Ruo'er, you're being a bit disrespectful. Let alone this little Huang, even if I called that big Huang who chased and bit me in the mansion to watch for three hours, there's no way he wouldn't remember even 10%."
Bu Ruo turned around and looked at someone who looked confused and seemed to be recalling something, and smiled, "Then ask him yourself how much he remembered. If he said 10%, I was exaggerating."
"How about this, as long as he remembers more than 10%, no matter how much more, you win. And the silver he loses to you is yours. You can take it and spend it as you like."
"But if you lose, not only will you have to pay me the silver, but you will also have to practice transforming spiritual energy into physical form after you return. How about that?"
"I agree!" Jin Congcong's eyes lit up, and he looked at the emperor as if he were looking at silver. "Little Huang, you idiot, it's time for you to clear your name. Come on, tell them how much you remember."
"Little Huang, you better keep up the good work. I don't have much money to spend, I can count it on one hand. If you help me win, I'll buy you some candied haws when we get back, and some for Bu Bu and Jin as well."
"Of course, you can't lie just to make me win. Although I really want to win, I still have to be honest."
A certain emperor swallowed and said, "Well... I don't know how much I remember. How about this? Didn't my cheap master demonstrate it to us once? I'll do it for you now, and you can see how much I remember."
"Okay, come on, Ruoer, prepare the money."
After a few breaths...
"No...no? Just two scratches and it's gone? How about you think about it again? Or how about you just scratch it a few more times?"
